So seriously, what's going to replace Discord? Everyone wants to leave, but to where?
And no, Matrix is not and will never be a viable alternative
With LiveKit for calls / screen share, it is for my group. Though I'm not saying it doesn't have issues.
Community-developed homeservers like continuwuity have gotten a lot of new support on the last few weeks. Clients like cinny are getting pretty close to a replacement ux wise (if you look at PR2599 on Cinny's GitHub, they are working on and will soon merge support for LiveKit in a way that is very close to voice channels).
I also generally think that the only way to replace Discord as an ecosystem where you talk to many people from different communities is a federated protocol, not a bunch of new silos, one for each community.
I've seen mentioned these:
Why is "one-to-one clone of Discord" the goal for everyone? Why not set your sights on a making a good UX instead?
ngl, discord kinda had the best UX before the enshittification began
So you're saying there are options.
Doesn't Stoat charge far out the ass?
